Accidents do happen..

Chaikin was known to ride her mobility scooter around the city, and has been riding for enough years to be considered experienced. Officials report that the truck was not in its designated place when it struck the elderly woman on Eighth Avenue between Bleeker Strett and West 12th Street.
